Chalabi
Accused of Aiding Iran Spies Bush's good friend betrays America like the BFEE has

Excerpt: Ahmad Chalabi, the controversial Iraqi
exile who provided Bush with faulty prewar intelligence on Iraqi weapons, (notice how they treat
that as a fact?) recently told Iranian intelligence officials that U.S. eavesdroppers were monitoring
top-secret communications by Tehran's chief spy service, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

The officials said the apparent betrayal
of America's secret eavesdropping and code-breaking operation could pose a significant setback to U.S.
intelligence, given Iran's nuclear program, its support for Islamic militant groups and its growing political
and religious ambitions in neighboring Iraq since the ouster of Saddam.

Whoever told Chalabi we had Iran's codes
should be tried for treason, but once again nobody will hold the Bush gang responsible for
any crimes they commit so this is no big deal. Just days ago, Bush told LSU, "Your
friends rub off on you, so pick them wisely,"
which means Bush has Chalabi all over him, just like he has Hitler,
Saddam, Noriega, the Ayatollah Khomenie, Islamic Jihad, Osama etc.

"Asked about George W. Bush in a press conference,
Venezuela president Hugo Chávez replied that the US president was a
pendejo, translated literally as a "pubic hair" and colloquially as a "coward." Chávez's
word failed to make its way into the final communiqué." --FT.com, "Tough crowd",

Subject: What would Jesus
Do?

I wised up to Bushes type of Christianity
a few months ago. I am not a church going Christian but I attempt to follow the message Jesus
gave us. For me, it doesn't matter if he is or isn't related to that invisible cloud being, Jesus came
here with a message. Treat your neighbors in the same way you would want to be treated. Period,
that's it, and if everyone did it we'd all be better off.

So if you apply Christ's main teaching,
with Bush's actions, there is no way Bush could be a true Christian. WWJD--I doubt if he said bomb Iraq, and
kill as many people as you can.

My theory is then, that if Bush bought a
ranch to portray how down to earth and so like the common man he was, and wore a flight suit to show us he was
macho. His devout Christianity suit is just another disguise he whipped
up to get the gullible to think he is one.--a
ploy he needed to get elected, but by his actions shows it just another diversion from us seeing the true GWBush.

Army
Expanding 'Stop-Loss' ProgramForced to serve against their will - this is a draft

Excerpt: The Army will prevent soldiers in units
set to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan from leaving the service at the end of
their terms, a top general said Wednesday.

The announcement, an expansion of an Army
program called "stop-loss," means that thousands of soldiers who had expected
to retire or otherwise leave the military will have to stay on for the duration of
their deployment to those combat zones.

The expansion affects units that are 90
days away or less from deploying, said Lt. Gen."Buster" Hagenbeck, the Army's deputy chief of
staff for personnel. Commanders have the ability to make exceptions for soldiers
with special circumstances; otherwise, soldiers won't be able to leave the service or transfer
from their unit until they return to their home base after the deployment. .

This will be a severe test of the military's
loyalty to the never-elected deserter.

Excerpt: This administration strategy does nothing
to create a stable and peaceful Iraq. The plan is merely a short-term way to stanch the president's
hemorrhaging in polls at home and maximize his dimming chances for reelection. But then this invasion
was always less about making life better for the Iraqis than doing so for the neo-conservatives
who hijacked the U.S. government for their own pet overseas social engineering project.

Quotes

"While President Bush insists, rightly, that
the war on terror will last for generations and require great sacrifices, he has asked
few Americans to make any. The president won't even ask the wealthy to pay for the
war. Instead, he gave them a hefty tax cut. Freedom isn't free, someone has said. But if
you're wealthy and well-connected, it's pretty cheap." --Cynthia
Tucker, Freedom isn't free, Attribution

Excerpt: Without any accountability or transparency,
even if these machines work, we cannot check whether they are in fact working reliably.
The American public should not tolerate the use of paperless e-voting machines until at least
the 2006 election, allowing time to prevent ongoing errors and failures with the technology.
One way or another, every voter should be able to check that an accurate paper record has
been made of their vote before it is recorded.

......"Screw
a paper trail - those electronic
Diebold machines are lucky for me..."

So begins one of the latest postings to
the official weblog, or blog, of the DemoCon2004, which party organizers are pitching as
the first of its kind in the world of politics.

The July convention is also the first where
a carefully selected group of bloggers will be granted credentials to cover the four-day
event along with the thousands of conventional journalists scheduled to descend on Boston.

What can you expect?? Some Bishop
supported Giuliani's statement that "there was some divine guidance in the
President being elected." " was swiftly seconded by a Catholic bishop."
Seems the Church is supporting statements made by divorced adulterers as experts
on biblical prophesy these days.

Simply put - the Catholic Church is for sale. I think I
told this story on BCR,
but not here on the page. You know how you always hear the rumors
about
"sinners" buying a Catholic stairway to Heaven?

Mrs. Bart works in a small office - 20 people or so and a co-worker
told her
when she married a Catholic, they went to the local parish and
said they wanted
their marriage blessed and their children recognized as Catholics.
The priest told her,
"Write a check for $5,000 - EACH,
and it's all taken care of."

I've always heard these stories second or third hand, but you
KNOW they're true because
Giuliani and Ted Kennedy have both written checks to the church
to have Almighty God
blinded to their first marriages - and people still
have faith in this corrupt system?

It's not my goal to make fewer Catholics, I just think people
should stop lying to themselves
about a crooked institution that sells forgiveness if
your bank account is big enough.
Like the Republican Party, the Church just tells the poor people
they're going to hell.

Meanwhile, they're attacking Kerry but not pro-choice Republicans
- what a disgrace.

Excerpt: The first public showing, at $50 a ticket,
will be at a ballroom at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock, a short walk from where
Clinton celebrated his two presidential election victories.

Director Harry Thomason, who is from Hampton,
Ark., profiled Clinton in a glowing light in "The Man from Hope" for the then-Arkansas governor's 1992 presidential
campaign. He says the latest piece about his old friend seeks journalistic impartiality, acknowledging
that some people would likely dismiss the film as more Clinton propaganda.

The talk radio Nazis and the cable screamers, along with the networks
and big newspapers and news weeklies
will smear this film without even bothering to see it because
they cannot face the facts.

"I was like everybody else. At first, I thought
it was the right thing to do. We succeeded in what our main objective
was: Get Saddam. Now, nobody knows what our mission
is. We're stuck."
--Allen Vandayburg, whose son, Allen J., 20, died in Iraq Attribution

Excerpt:"It's the hawks in this town, the Zell Millers,
who ought to be most distressed by this evidence and by the president's efforts to wish it away.
Of all the missed opportunities since Baghdad fell, surely this is one of the most heartbreaking. Iraqi detainees
might have been going home to their families and saying, as German POWs did so many decades ago,
that these American soldiers are for real, that they treated us humanely -- that maybe they mean what
they say about liberation, not occupation. Instead, the United States is reduced to pleading that it's
not as bad as al Qaeda and obfuscating the reality that policies adopted in the White House helped lead
to this breakdown of law and discipline.

Bush could have responded differently. He
could have embraced the heroes such as Spec. Joseph Darby, who sounded the alarm; William J. Kimbro,
the Navy dog handler who refused to sic his dogs on prisoners; Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, who wrote
an honest report. He could have apologized to the people of Iraq, appointed an investigator from outside
the chain of command, pledged to abide by the Geneva Conventions. Instead, he opted for a Nixonian strategy
of damage containment, and a summer of piecemeal disclosure."

Can anybody imagine a scenario where Bush could've screwed this
up any worse?
Meanwhile, the GOP media echo chamber has Bush even with Kerry
- after all this.

something great to show to republicans, but I don't want to shell out the money and find it's only

Steve, sorry, I forget what's on BCR and on the page. They
sent me a copy and I reviewed it with audio
clips on BCR. I don't know what the howler has covered,
but it's a damn good documentary. It's not a
feel-good, fun-time kind of movie - it's a "Christ
- is this really happening in America?" kind of movie.

They explain why nobody knows Bush made the top few percent absolutely
tax free and we don't know that
because the American whore press (all of it) is owned by 7 corporations,
so the headlines are Kobe, Laci and

Excerpt: If The New York Times' grudging retraction
of its coverage of those elusive Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" proves nothing
else, it's the absurdity of the Republican right's cherished myth about "liberal bias"
in the establishment press. Think about it. Until last week, 14 months had passed since
the triumphal toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad with no sign of his terrifying
arsenal, but few hints of regret from a newspaper whose credulous reporting
helped utopian ideologues in the Bush administration take the nation to war
under false pretenses. While the Times' act of contrition had clearly been in the works
for some time, what appeared to force it into print was a U.S. Army-FBI raid on Ahmad
Chalabi, the long-time Iraqi exile, anti-Saddam activist and convicted embezzler.

Excerpt: As Americans reflected on the lives lost
in Iraq over the Memorial Day weekend, they also had the opportunity to learn more about
Judith Miller, a reporter for The New York Times whose front-page articles about Saddam
Hussein's forbidden weapons were so influential in driving America to war

...the stories she wrote supported the propaganda
line taken by her sources and associates. In their apologia, the Times editors pointed
toward "a circle of Iraqi informants, defectors and exiles bent on 'regime change' in Iraq,
people whose credibility has come under increasing public debate in recent weeks." That too
is only a partial truth. The circle of misleaders encompasses Americans as well as Iraqis,
and may be said to include Ms. Miller herself.

Karen, I think the Demo bill

populate Bush's takeover the world armed forces.

The forced draft that's in effect now is
scary enough, and Bush's locking the gates to prevent

Subject: the modern liberal

Alto,

"alto" means"stop in Spanish. Why would you start a conversation with
"stop?"

One cannot help but laugh at the insanity
of the Modern Liberal. The lengths they will go to to chuck all
reason, evidence and facts in order to attack the good guys.

I am ready to refute any specifics you may be confused about.

This is not an accident. This is the
design of their philsophy which demands that good ALWAYS be attacked and evil always covered for
and championed.

Those words, though connected so as to appear to be a sentence,
don't form a coherent thought.
What did you intend to say?

The reason for this is that the basis of
their philosophy is "subjectivity." That's the belief that nothing -- no culture
for example -- is better or worse than any other.

What does that mean?
Who ever said such a silly thing?
Are you reading something from the vulgar Pigboy's page?

When cultures come along that are clearly
superior, like the United States and Israel, the leftist is forced to attack these cultures,
to prove that their success is the result not of their moral and cultural superiority
but rather because they somehow cheated.

If given enough time, are you eventually going to make a point?
Who attacked the United States and Israel?
Are you refuting some point that hasn't been made?

The leftist, then, will go to any extreme
to prove their point.

Prove what point?
You seem to be having a white hot debate with yourself about
nothing.
I wish there was an opportubity for me to jump in and straighten
you out,
but you're just babbling mindlessly without saying anything that
can be refuted.

The problem is that since the reasons for
the success of these nations IS because they are superior the obvious facts and evidence
cannot be employed. The more clear the superority of a culture the more deep the leftist
has to dig to invent something that makes them appear bad.

You're saying America and Israel are the only successful countries?
Are you judging countries by how many other countries they have
invaded?
Is Canada a failed country because they haven't invaded anybody?

Thus while one finds the arguments of those
who love America (and Israel) to be logical, factual and easy to grasp (we attacked Iraq because
Saddam Hussein is a threat to the world) the leftist has to engage in the most tortured of conspiracy
theories.

Lefties engage in tortured theories?
We have 820 America dead and proof that Saddam was never a threat.
Where are the logical and factual arguments you promised?

This is not just the nuts...but actually
the "best and the brightest" of the leftists from Noam Chomsky to Al Gore to Ted Kennedy.

If you're going to call them nuts, why not quote something nutty
they said?
You seem to very extremely adamant about that which you cannot
quote or produce.

The great laugh of all this is that the
left will then use the "depth" of their insane conspiracy theories to prove that they "think more deeply"
than does everyone else. But of course they HAVE to think more deeply in order to explain why their
wrong answer is really right.

What wrong answer?
What was the question that "some Democrat" got wrong?

This is the goal of the leftist...to explain
to the world while failure and evil are really victims and goodness and success are really evil
people who have succeeded only because of their evil. Mark Jackson

Which leftist said that was his goal?
Why didn't you give his name and the quote with the link?
Which leftist said success was evil?
Which leftist said failure was a victim - and what does that
mean?
Is this something you heard on Rush or Hannity?

I'll bet if you weren't so busy, you could straighten me out in
a live chat room.
But ...if you agreed to that, you'd have to answer questions
- so maybe you'd better stay away.

Excerpt: President Bush and top U.S. officials repeatedly
stress that Iraqis will have "full sovereignty" after June 30. The interim Iraqi government
that takes power then, however, will be more caretaking than autonomous, unable to do
basic functions such as make laws or control military forces.

Zbigniew Brzezinski says the term "full
sovereignty" - emphasized Tuesday by Bush, Powell and Kinda Sleazy Rice - lacks credibility.
No government can be fully sovereign while its country is"still being occupied by a foreign army, 140,000
men, subject to our authority," he said. .

Excerpt: Iraqi officials prevailed in their choice

government reflecting Iraq's religious and cultural diversity to rule after the return

Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer, a Sunni Muslim
critic of the U.S.-led occupation, was named to the largely ceremonial post. Al-Yawer
was the choice of U.S.-picked Iraqi Governing Council, which dissolved itself immediately
so that the new government can start work even before it takes power from the U.S.-led
coalition at the end of the month.

It seems like Iraq's government changes
with every car bomb explosion. Whoever is alive after the last car bomb
explosion on June 30 "wins" Iraq..

Excerpt: The Bush administration gave a detailed
accounting Tuesday of the alleged terrorist connections and training of Jose Padilla, a New York-born
former gang member and convert to Islam.

The Bush administration contends that as
"enemy combatants," the men are not entitled to the usual rights of criminal suspects, and
that the president alone has authority to order their detention.

One of Padilla's lawyers, Andrew Patel,
characterized the information released by Comey on Tuesday as "an opening statement without a trial.
We are in the same position we've been in for two years, where the government says bad things about
Mr. Padilla and there's no forum for him to defend himself."

Why can't they put this guy on trial? Either they have evidence of his guilt
- or they don't. We've seen how the BFEE plays fast and
loose with the rules and for all we know, Padilla is just a unlucky dupe that Bush
is using to claim a "victory" against terrorism.
